CATEGORY: Inodilator (calcium sensitizer and phosphodiesterase Ill inhibitor)

PHARMACOLOGY PHARMACODYNAMICS:

Pimobendan, a benzimidazole-pyridazinone derivative, is a non-sympathomimetic, non-glycoside inotropic drug with vasodilatative properties. Pimobendan exerts a stimulatory myocardial effect by a dual mechanism of action consisting of an increase in calcium sensitivity of cardiac myofilaments and inhibition of phosphodiesterase (Type Il). Pimobendan exhibits vasodilating activity by inhibiting phosphodiesterase Ill activity.

 

PHARMACOKINETICS:

Pimobendan is oxidatively demethylated to a pharmacologically active metabolite which is then conjugated with sulfate or glucuronic acid and excreted mainly via feces.

The mean extent of protein binding of pimobendan and the active metabolite in dog plasmais > 90%.

The total body clearance of pimobendan was approximately 90 ml/min/kg, and the terminal elimination half-life of pimobendan and the active metabolite were approximately 0.5 hours and 2 hours, respectively.

Plasma levels of pimobendan and active metabolite were below quantifiable levels by 4 and 8 hours after oral administration, respectively

The steady-state volume of

distribution of pimobendan is 2.6 /kg indicating that the drug is readily distributed into tissues. Food decreased the bioavailability of an aqueous solution of pimobendan, but the effect of food on the absorption of pimobendan from Safeheart tablet is unknown.

INDICATIONS:

Safeheart (pimobendan) is indicated for the management of the signs of mild, moderate or severe (modified NYHA Class Ita, Illb or Vc) congestive heart failure in dogs due to atrioventricular valvular insufficiency (AVVi) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

The tablets are scored and the calculated dosage should be provided to the nearest half-tablet increment

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Safeheart should not be given in cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, aortic stenosis, or any other clinical condition where an augmentation of cardiac output is inappropriate for functional or anatomical reasons.

WARNINGS:

Only for use in dogs with clinical evidence of heart failure.

At 3 and 5 times the recommended dosage, administered over a 6-month period of time, pimobendan caused an exaggerated hemodynamic response in the normal dog heart, which was associated with cardiac pathology.

HUMAN WARNINGS:

Not for use in humans. Keep this medication out of reach of children. Consult a Physician in case of accidental ingestion by humans.

PRECAUTIONS:

The safety of Safeheart has not been established in dogs with asymptomatic heart disease or in heart failure caused by etiologies other than AVVi or DGM. The sale use of Saleheart has not been evaluated in dogs younger than 6 months of age. dogs with congenital heart defects, dogs with diabetes mellitus or other serious metabolic diseases, dogs used for breeding, or pregnant or lactating bitches.
